About this Cook
I had my first heart attack at age 40!!! I am married to my wonderful husband, Bill. We have 2 German Shorthaired Pointers. ...we enjoy spending every available moment on our small lake in Harrison, MI. Visit our Log Cabin blog at www.VintageLogCabin.blogspot.com
My favorite things to cook
Anything with LOTS of flavor.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I like canning with my Mom. I even enjoy just cleaning strawberries with her at the sink.
My cooking triumphs
I cook a lot by memory of my favorite recipes. I'm one of those that says, 'you just add a bit of xxx'. Never knowing the EXACT right amount...LOL
My cooking tragedies
I totally suck at grilling. I just can't seem to get it right. Maybe I need Grilling 101 for my Weber charcoal grill.

Amish Breakfast Casserole
I have made this at least a half dozen times. Although I don't personally like eggs, there is never any left and folks go back for seconds and always request the recipe. I also add black pepper and sometimes add green pepper, if I have it on hand.

Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary
I used as little less oil since I am on WW. I made a roast in my slow cooker but didn't have enough room to put potatoes and carrots in. So, I made these on the side (with the addition of carrots) and we used the gravy from the roast over the potatoes and carrots. Very tasty!

Kosher Salt Encrusted Prime Rib Roast
FABULOUS, I'll never make prime rib another way again! My roast was 5.08 lbs and took approx. 5 hours at 210F. Like others had suggested, I made a paste with some water to make my salt crust. The salt just breaks off in chunks after resting. I allowed my roast to rest sitting in my microwave.
